Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

Does anyone know exactly how pulling in the solo dyna zones works?

I noticed when you pull the statue in front of palace for jeuno, the 3 statues along the wall you pass by will spawn/aggro. Went to pull downstairs in wave2 and the entire left side of the zone upstairs aggroed and ran at me.

Is it just buggy or did they actually add a mechanic to prevent you from skipping certain routes/statues?

Also kind of troll that the zone just insta spits you out when w2 boss dies so if quartermaster isn't on you dont get to keep boss drops.

what???

Prime Staff has 30/35 INT
Laev has zero

On COR you can double up rolls without any problem after doing the initial roll in roll+ gear, right?

Yes

Yes, but worth noting that the Crooked cards bonus will not be applied to people who only catch the double-ups.

Also: you probably want to include luzaf's ring for the double-ups, since it works for the range.

Synergy: The best way to stop a leak is just to feed the next element in the cycle, right?

I got roped into making some Fotias/Obis and it's been literally years.

I prefer to let leaks happen as part of my strategy for those. For gorget, I feed fire up to like 40, then add dark/light. If dark/light end up further than 18-22 and can't be easily balanced, restart. Once light/dark are balanced, feed up earth. Fire will be leaking before earth is done, but it doesn't matter. Just top fire back up and wait for it to fall into range. Safety lever before 30% to stop explosions.

Same principle for hachirin/belt, a light/dark leak can ruin you. But, if you feed another element up to 40+ first the leak will always occur in that element and then it's just another couple fewell feeds. No big deal. The fire leak causing water(ice?) to build doesn't reduce chance of success.

IIRC, to fix leaks, you feed the element to the LEFT of the element that is leaking. (This is the superior/stronger element in the elemental wheel).

I also use the safety level at 25% because I've found that leaks happen too frequently or explosions can occur at 30% more than I would like.

Man, I really enjoyed synergy. I wish it would make a come-back.

Also, I hope we can change/adjust our Synergy trainings one day.

Brilliant, but also I thought this was "before 20%", am I wrong?

totally gonna steal the rest of your strat though.

my god, right? it's IRREVOCABLE and it's so rude :(

I got one somewhere the other day, forgot where (WoE I think maybe?)

Going off memory, but I've never seen it explode unless it exceeded 30 (since it usually goes up by 5s on recipes below cap, 30 flat seems fine too). Possible I'm remembering wrong, since multiple people believe otherwise.

It's 30 flat before they can blow up, last chance to hit pressure release is 25.

I will trust people here over my own recollections from skilling up years ago, that's for sure - it's why I asked in the first place! Thanks, all.

Apparently, this NPC sells it after she makes enough money off of customers, but she could just be gaslighting you.

(I have no idea why BG Wiki shows Mnejing as dropping the scroll, but it drops from Taisajin, a bumch of HTBF, and Voidwatch)

bg-wiki is pulling data from ffxidb. ffxidb's data is likely broken due to new npc's being added in jade sepulcher from when the data was initially recorded. If you go to the Mnejing page, you can see its listed drops are comparable to the puppet HTMB.

Though I'm not exactly sure how it got so far down to think its Mnejing.

Is anyone else not getting daily log in points? I have been stuck at 1400 for 3 days now, zoned and logged multiple times but not getting any points.

Thanks

It's over, you have just a few days left to spend them this month

So you can get unlock for +3 armor in the daily dyna d right? Kill 100 mobs again?

Yes, or kill wave 1 boss as normal

So kinda follow-up to this... I've been leveling Synergy off and on for a bit (44) so I can do it all on my own, sense of accomplishment, etc. When should I realistically take a stab at Gorget/Obi? Smocks / Stalls aren't an issue, and seem to be decent things to skill up on, but I just can't seem to get anything going on these.
